Milling devices from Planmeca now also compatible with VOCO’s CAD/CAM blocks Grandio blocs

(Neu)

Either as crown, inlay, onlay, veneer or implant-supported crown – Grandio blocs successfully cover numerous indications in prosthetics and are solidly established in practices an laboratories around the world. As a further offer for users, they are now also available for the PlanMill 30 S and PlanMill 40 S milling units from the Finnish dental equipment manufacturer Planmeca. The polymerised blocks are provided with the typical Planmeca pins. Also the milling programme, which is directly selectable in the software of PlanMill, is precisely matched to the material, resulting in error-free and precise restorations.

 

Thanks to its filler content of 86 % w/w, Grandio blocs score with an outstanding material strength. Furthermore, the flexural strength shows values that usually are only reached with silicate ceramics, although Grandio blocs are much more antagonist-friendly. Additional advantages: The material can be milled very finely and is easy to polish, so that the restoration fits optimally and meets high aesthetic requirements. In addition, the wide shade rage in two translucency grades supports a natural look. Grandio blocs are available in two sizes 12 and 14L.

 

Grandio blocs with the appropriate pin are compatible with the milling devices PlanMill 30 S and PlanMill 40 S from Planmeca. The devices, which are provided with high speed spindles, offer a milling speed that advances the work efficiency in practice and laboratory. At the same time, the linear motors ensure maximum precision.

 

In addition to the milling devices from Planmeca, Grandio blocs with the universal pin can be processed with other milling units available on the market. These include, for example, vhf, imes‑icore, Zirkonzahn or DGSHAPE.
